How do I verify I'm not leaking/dangling shared_ptr ?

Post Body

I can't tell on valgrind's site if it works with std::shared_ptr
I'm mostly thinking of situations where there's another shared_ptr , which may keep the memory out of the scope.
I also would like to know how to confirm/be able to check. ( I'm aware of using make_shared vs new std::shared_ptr<T>() because of possible leaks )

As an exercise I'm implementing data structures in c 11.

I believe for a doubly-linked list, to delete it, I simply do:

// deletes list (except if there is an external reference to a list item?)
void DoubleList::clear() {
    head = nullptr;

    tail = nullptr;
    count_ = 0;
}
